Cumine Scaler

Description

Cumine Scaler

The Cumine scaler is a long-established periodontal hand instrument that many hygiene operatories keep alongside their sickles and curettes. Intrace USA offers it as one pattern, so ordering is simple. In addition, a staff member in Atlanta looks over every Cumine before we pack it.

Where This Pattern Fits in a Hygiene Tray

Clinicians reach for this scaler when deposits need a firm, controlled stroke. For example, it suits tenacious supragingival calculus and the margins just below the gumline. Because it is a scaler rather than a universal curette, it is meant for debridement work, not for root planing deep in a pocket. So most trays pair it with a curette for the finer finishing passes.

One Listing, No Figures to Compare

Unlike our multi-figure periodontal pages, this listing carries a single Cumine pattern. Therefore you do not need to choose between figures or handle styles. If you want to see the working end before ordering, then study the product photos closely, since they show the exact piece you will receive.

Keeping the Cutting Edges Sharp

A scaler only works well while its edges stay keen. Hone it with a flat stone after each few patient sessions, and then check the edge against a plastic test stick. Also avoid dropping the instrument into a crowded cassette, because contact with other tips dulls the blade quickly.

Steel and Inspection

The cumine scaler is made from surgical stainless steel that meets ASTM F899. Our United States inspection looks at blade shape, shank straightness and handle finish on each Cumine. Should a flaw in the metal or polish appear, this scaler is covered for three years against manufacturing defects, though honing wear is normal use. Because it comes out of the box unsterilized, scrub and steam it in your own cycle before the first appointment.
